PISTOL-HOLSTER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BYRON B. PARRISH, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Mineral Wells, in the county of Palo' Pinto and State of Texas, have invented a certain new and useful. Improvement in Pistol- Holsters, of which the following is a speci-' fication.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in pistol, or automatic magazine gun holsters, and its object is toprovide a substantial holster which will permit a gun therein from being accidentally removed, and whichwill'properly and securely retain th gun'in proper position for its removal when desired for use. 7

It is the further objectof the invention to provide a cheap, but perfectly reliable, accessible, durable, and convenient carrier, or holster, for pistols, and automatic guns of this type.

"With the above and various other objects in view my invention has relation to certain novel features of the construction and use, and is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:

Figure 1 is a side view of my improved gun holster, showing the gun in position therein, the lower end being broken to illustrate the construction thereof. Fig. 2 is a front view of the holster, with a gun shown in place therein, and illustrating the position of the metal belt clasp support. Fig. 3

is a top view of the holster containing the gun, and Fig. 1 is a View of theholster alone, showing its simple construction and accessibility. Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like reference numbers designate similar parts in all the figures, the numeral 1 represents a metallic shield of the proper length to accommodate the gun as shown in Fig. 1, having the lower end shaped as shown in Fig. 1, to protect the muzzle, and limit any downward movement of the gun when in proper position in the holster.

To this shield 1, and forming a substantial part of the holster, metallic strips 2 are securely fastened, said strips being brazed or soldered together, and shaped, as shown in Fig. 1, to conform'in general to Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

of the gun. A metal pin 6, slightly smaller than the gun bore is securely fastened into the lower end of'the shield 1, by means-of the rivet 7, or in any suitable manner, which pin will serveas a directive agent in placing the gun in the holster, and also limit any .movement of the muzzle in a lateral direction. 1

The invention is presented as including all such modifications and changes as properly come within the scope of the following claims:

'1. A gun-holster comprising a metallic shield comprising two side pieces for the sides of the gun barrel, metallic strips seshield comprising two side pieces for the sides of the gun barrel, metallic strips secured at one end to the shield to embrace and support the sides and top of thebreech of the gun, and a lip secured to the shield to receive and support the trigger guard,

said strips 'and lip constituting the means for connecting the side pieces: of the shield in combination with a clasp secured to the shield opposite to said strips and adapted,

to be traversed by a-belt securing the holster to the person. i In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
